SONG LYRICS

After The Rain

Lyrics & music by Johan Christher Schütz

This is my favourite time of day It's as if you can hear the earth breathe It always helps me find a way Having endless skies above me I've stopped looking, there's nothing here to find I'm facing my illusions, I've made up my mind

I wait for the morning I wait for the sunrise With a heightened perception After the rain I wait for a moment, A day or a lifetime For a glimpse of perfection After the rain

I've had my share of sweet mistakes I've seen my blessings slowly crumble But what we learn from our aches Makes it easy to be humble There's a diamond hidden in the pain Just waiting to relieve you after the rain

I wait for the morning I wait for the sunrise With a heightened perception After the rain I wait for a moment, A day or a lifetime For a glimpse of perfection After the rain

– saxophone solo –

I wait for the morning I wait for the sunrise With a heightened perception After the rain I wait for a moment, A day or a lifetime For a glimpse of perfection After the rain
